Uams Head Start Early Head Start @ Methodist Children Home

This is the most saddest place ever I was there when I was five years old and I never want to go back. The food is nasty not very good education. I feel like I was jail at five years old. I was in Wilson house and the move me up to to fields house

i was in treatment in the RTC#2 Field house for adolescent girls. my family sent me to this residential treatment program in hopes of helping my anxiety and my depression. Allow me to put this lightly, as a 14 year old individual who suffers from anxiety and depression, this is the worst possible place to be. Whilst my stay i was fearing for my safety, being threatened with injury and death from fellow peers and when reporting to staff being called a liar. My own THERAPIST told me "I cant believe you" when i simply told her about my issues in school,home,ect. Yes, although some staff are simply the most amazing people i have met, the rest treat you like a burden. In one of my many instances, i was sitting and one of my fellow peers began to scream,yell,cuss, and threaten me. However, I was the person written up for it. Not only is the treatment ridiculous, but as someone who has braces and whose wire and bands fell out of my mouth and couldn't eat had to deal with the pain of cut lips and mouth due to my exposed brackets was not allowed to go to the orthodontist even though I had been there for 2 months and was going on regular passes every weekend. The cleanliness of this place is absolutely horrendous. Huge Cockroaches , girls writing in feces and period blood on the walls. hair being all over the food and floor, the list goes on and on. The food in this residential treatment facility is so inhumane that food is always cold, disgusting, and in my opinion unfairly served. The meat is always pink in the middle and it may not be under cooked enough to make someone ill, but its horrible. I honestly understand that this place is a residential treatment facility and not "Depressed child getaway vacation", however even though i was never once aware of my rights as a patient, i know i have the basic human right of decent food, a clean quarters to live in, and to be around people with similar severity levels. to parents and guardians, please find another place for your adolescent. Please allow them to have a brighter and better future than the people who discharge from this facility whilst still threatening, going in to tantrum, cussing peers and staff, punching walls, and threatening suicide. Please send your child somewhere where they will have a chance for a bright future.

honestly, this place had its up and downs. the food is nasty, they treat you horribly. I only liked 3 staff in there. they treated you horribly. we never got to do anything fun. I remember everyone waking up to a bunch of bites and we all think it was bed bugs. it was just horrible. honestly

This is a terrible facility. I was beat up by clients AND staff, as I have countless scars and bruises all over me. I had few friends there, most got beat up badly, the staff give kids cigarettes, and the staff put young children in terrible restraining techniques, which gave me permanent scars all over. They don't look at our grievance forms, and when I report abuse to staff, they don't do anything to help. I do not recommend putting your child in here.

I was there at the wilson house not to long ago like maybe 2 years ago and it really changed my life i didn't do s good whenever i first got there but the staff were always there if i needed to talk it was really nice the staff are amazing!! especially Ms. Shareika and Ms. krysta!!! oh and Mr.Brian there's alot more that are great to but i forgot most of there names...
